Modern Security Systems Engineering: Foundations of Secure System Design and Operation

By Lachunas Berme

Cybersecurity is the art and science of building systems that remain trustworthy in the presence of intelligent adversaries.

Modern Security Systems Engineering introduces the core principles that secure today's computing environments, from operating systems and cloud infrastructure to web applications, mobile devices, and emerging AI-driven systems. Through clear explanations and real-world examples, readers learn how isolation, authentication, cryptography, trusted hardware, secure software design, and network security work together to create resilient systems.

Covering topics such as containers, virtual machines, WebAssembly, TPMs, secure boot, memory-corruption defenses, software supply-chain security, TLS, public-key infrastructure, modern messaging systems, and AI agents, this book emphasizes architectural thinking over memorization of attacks or tools.

Written for students, software engineers, security practitioners, and aspiring security architects, this book provides the conceptual foundation needed to understand not just how systems are attacked, but how they can be engineered to remain secure.
